The Overland Sim Builder

From driving trucks across three continents to building sim rigs that deliver real immersion — my journey has always been about experiencing driving at its most authentic.

My Story

From Dragoman Overlander to Sim Racing Expert

For years, I drove overland trucks with Dragoman, taking passengers on epic journeys across Africa, South America, and Asia. Those weren't just trips — they were lessons in vehicle dynamics, terrain reading, and understanding what makes driving feel real.

When I transitioned to sim racing, I brought that same practical mindset. I quickly noticed how many people waste money upgrading in the wrong order, chasing gear influencers recommend rather than what actually improves their experience.

That's why I started Race Ready Sims — to offer honest, practical advice based on real driving experience and understanding what creates genuine immersion.

The Journey

Continents Explored, Lessons Learned

Africa

Navigating diverse terrains from the Sahara to the savannas of East Africa.

South America

From the Andes to the Amazon, every route brought unique challenges.

Asia

Crossing through varied landscapes and cultures across the continent.

The Balanced Rig Philosophy

The best sim racing setup isn't the most expensive — it's the one that's upgraded in the right order. Here's my proven approach:

1

PC & Performance

The foundation that enables everything else. Stable frame rates matter more than max settings.

2

Solid Cockpit

A rigid rig makes all other upgrades feel better. No flex means consistent muscle memory.

3

Display Choice

Match your display to your PC capability and space. VR, triples, or ultrawide - each has its place.

4

Quality Pedals

Load-cell brakes improve lap times more than any wheel upgrade. Invest here.

5

Wheelbase

Direct drive is great, but only after the foundation is solid.

6

Immersion Layers

Tactile, motion, sound - the finishing touches that bring it all together.
